I know its been a long time since I posted but this website was so useful to me a few months back when I was finding things really quite difficult, I just wanted to let everyone know that things finally worked out in the end. Saturday just gone I was drinking this big bottle of vodka, as you do being a uni student (well actually I was drinking alone because I missed my big brother who died a few years back). Anyway at about 12 in the morning I called my parents up and before I had a chance to think about what I was doing I had already told them I was gay. I then went round the flat laughing like a hysterical madman yelling out what I did at the top of my voice so I'm pretty sure half of the flat knows as well, apparently my friend had to put me to bed 3 times but I reckon it was worth it really. Who would've guessed, it only took me moving to uni and a bottle of vodka, now the whole world knows. I don't know what my parents think and to be honest I don't really care, I'm surrounded by awesome flatmates who are happy for me and that's been really amazing.
Congratulations, DangerousDan! I'm very glad your flatmates have been so accepting and supportive! I hope things go just as well with your family!
Congratulations!! I have considered this route in telling my parents. I am sorry to hear about you losing your brother I cant imagine the loss.
